Towards a liveable planet: land, energy, and food system transitions

Professor Paul Behrens

Date: 28 November 2024

Location: Oxford Martin School

In his introductory talk, Professor Behrens will describe his work in land use, food & energy systems, and climate change.

He’ll answer questions ranging from “how much mining do we need for the energy transition” to “how much land in the UK and worldwide could we spare through dietary shifts”. He'll talk about his work in legal and political advocacy, and outline his new Global Professorship programme on rapid food transformations in a rapidly changing world at the Oxford Martin School.
